Net-SNMP questions

Hello All members,



I am new to net-snmp and I have questions.



-What is agent, master-agnet and subagent and what is the relationship 
between
those? how does
master-agent and sub-agent work? A request(GET or SET) commands hits the
master-agent first and passes it to subagent? And the subagent handles 
the data
within our own application(a kind of data manager class )? Where the MIB
 plays a role
in this picture? I installed Net-SNMP on my machine and I was able to 
running
giving it localhost at the end of the command. so I can say master-agent
 is
running? 



-What is differences between snmp4J-Agent and snmp4J-AgentX? I need to 
handle a
net-snmp request  in Java. Which one should
I use? Currently we have C++ sub-agent codes that connects to the master
agent(using TCP address)and I need Java sub-agent to act like the C++ 
sub-agent
does except Java sub-agent will be running on a remote machine. 
Basically, one
C++ sub-agent(we do have that) and one Java sub-agent(I need to create) 
that
will connect to the remote 
master-agent(only
one master and only one MIB currently).Is that O.K right? because 
sub-agent
uses TCP address-a sub-agent can connect to remote master agent running 
on a
different box.  And Is that 
possible
one master-agent having c++ subagent and Java sub-agent? And Which one 
should I
pick between snmp4J-Agent and snmp4J-AgentX?



I would be very appreciated if you could answer my question.

 

Thanks,
